When I opened my eyes, Susan was the first thing I saw. She was
smiling at me. "Tired?" she asked. I nodded. "I don't blame you." She
handed me a cup of water.
"Thanks," I managed to say.
"So what is it?" she asked. "Is it John Truman Carter IV or Macy Joan Carter?"
"I don't know," I said. "I was just about to ask you the same thing."
Susan's mouth fell open. "You don't know?!?"
"I fell asleep before they could tell me," I giggled.
She shook her head and laughed. "I'll go find out," she said.
As she stood up, a nurse walked into the room with something cradled in her arms. "I heard you talking so I thought you might like to meet your daughter," she said, placing a pink bundle in my arms.
"Hello little one," I cooed. "I'm you're mommy," I said. The baby blinked at me.
"And I'm your Auntie Susan," Susan said, leaning over us.
"Did you say Macy Joan?" I asked her.
She laughed. "Yeah. I came up with that this morning. What do you think?"
I made a face. "Not good." I looked back at my new baby. Her skin was pink but I could tell she was going have my coloring. "Bryanne," I said firmly.
"Bryan?"
"Bry - Anne," I corrected, drawing the name out. "Bryan is a boy's name, Bryanne is a girls name."
"It means 'strong one,'" I said. "It's a good name for her. Bryanne Kayla Lockhart."
"You're giving her Richard's last name?" Susan asked.
"It's my last name too," I told her. "Besides, it sounds better than Bryanne Kayla Carter."
"Change the middle name, then. That's what makes it sound funny." Susan thought for a moment. "What about Marie? Bryanne Marie Carter?"
I considered this. "Not bad," I said smiling. "Not bad at all."
I know this is a really, really, really short update but I think since I've already updated today, it's OK that it's so short. Don't forget to review. And tell me what you think of the baby's name. I know it's kinda weird but I'm kinda weird too! Woohoo!
"Thanks," I managed to say.
